Liz stretched out her head to look at the ground outside the window and said, "There are two lines of footprints!" I understood that the murderer entered the house through the back window, and after faking the illusion that Wangmei had hanged herself, he escaped through the back window. ”

Bai Haohong didn't say anything, he jumped up on the window, and then jumped out of the window, landing on a small stone, the stone was just enough to accommodate a person's feet, Bai Haohong jumped to the stone of the same size next to him, and so on, jumped three times, and then came to the cobblestone path, and the muddy footprints disappeared here. Bai Haohong returned from the same way and jumped into Huang Wangmei's room.

Liz sighed: "It's good to have martial arts!" Big Brother Bai, if you were a murderer, you wouldn't have left footprints. ”

Bai Haohong said dissatisfiedly: "Is there such a sycophant? Sounds like sarcasm. ”

"How so? I'm complimenting you for your martial arts skills and your ability to jump around on rocks. ”

"People who have studied martial arts for two or three years will do this, and comparing me with those people is not sarcastic about me? Don't shoot this kind of low-level sycophancy in the future! ”

Liz said with a hippie smile: "Brother Bai, your requirements are really high, and you have to listen to high-level sycophants." ”

At this time, Zhao Zhutou arrived with someone, he asked him to enter the room for an autopsy, and then said to Bai Haohong: "Lord Bai, this murder case occurred in the county, just a few people from our yamen, I am afraid that we will not be able to catch it, I have heard that you have a high efficiency in solving the case, can you cooperate with us to solve the case?" ”

"Zhao Zhutou, you are too polite, there is something that I can do my best, just give orders!"

"Thank you so much."

Zhao Zhutou carefully inspected the scene, and after seeing the footprints outside the window, he asked people to collect all the shoes of the Huang family and compare them.

After the investigation was completed, Zhao Zhutou was about to interrogate everyone in the mansion about their whereabouts last night, and Liz suggested: "I am alone in my house, you can ask questions in my room." ”

Zhao Zhutou agreed, and Liz was very happy, so that she could justifiably participate in solving the case. Lizi diligently set up the tables and chairs for them, and said to Bai Haohong and Zhao Zhutou: "The two of you sit behind the table, and this stool in front is for the people of the Huang family to sit on." ”

Zhao Zhutou praised: "Miss Shangguan is really thoughtful. ”

Lizi looked at Bai Haohong happily, hoping that he would also praise him, but he didn't expect Bai Haohong to say: "Okay, don't be busy, we're going to start asking, you can avoid it." ”

Lizi couldn't believe her ears, she dared to be busy for a long time, in front of outsiders, of course she wouldn't argue with Bai Haohong, but before leaving, Liz whispered in Bai Haohong's ear: "I have a big secret, let me stay, I'll tell you." ”

Bai Haohong pointed to the door and asked her to go out quickly, but Liz had no choice but to leave dissatisfied. At this time, he came in and reported: "There is only one strangulation mark on the neck of the deceased, and the eyes are closed and the mouth is open, the tongue is left outside the teeth, saliva foam flows from the corners of the mouth, and the sling is slightly strangled under the throat, and it intersects behind the ears, and there is no crossing. There were no other external injuries on the deceased's body, and there were no assaults, such as suicide. ”

After listening to this, Bai Haohong asked, "What if the deceased drank sweat medicine before his death, and was put on a rope and hanged while unconscious?" ”

"There is also such a possibility, I don't know why Lord Bai said this?"

"When I surveyed the scene, I found that the water in the teapot and teacup was a little muddy, very much like a sweat pill."

Zhao Zhutou said: "Yes, I also noticed it, it does seem to be a sweat medicine." Zhao Zhutou quickly instructed the two catchers beside him: "You two, go to each room to check and see if there is any sweat medicine." ”

After the two catchers left, one of the catchers came in and reported: "Zhao catches the head, the footprints outside the back window are exactly the same as Mrs. Huang's shoes." ”

Zhao Zhutou said to Bai Haohong: "Let's start with Mrs. Huang. ”

Bai Haohong nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Huang was brought in, and Bai Haohong saw that she was about thirty years old, not tall, with big eyes, high cheekbones, and a capable and mean appearance. After Zhao Zhutou asked Mrs. Huang to sit down, he asked, "Where were you last night?" What did you do? The more detailed it is, the better. ”

Mrs. Huang replied: "Last night, I heard that Wangmei went out again during the day, and after I finished dinner and rested for a while, I went to her room to persuade her: Don't go out when the eldest girl's house is fine. The Huang family is not a big family, we don't ask Wangmei to go out of the gate, and the second door is not to step, but we can't go out without saying hello. When I came to the door of Wangmei's house, I saw Miss Shangguan chatting inside, so I walked around, and when I returned to Wangmei again, I saw that she was embroidering alone, and I went in and talked with her for a while, and then went back to my room and slept. ”

"What did you talk about?"

"I want to greet Mei before going out, and tell her in detail about the etiquette that a woman should observe, and after she is convinced, I will leave."

"How do you usually get along with your eldest daughter?"

"The relationship is not very good. Zhao Zhutou, you also know, I am Wangmei's stepmother, she is spoiled, the master is busy, there is no time to discipline her, I have to teach her for the master. However, some subordinates are dissatisfied, saying that I have abused my two daughters, how is this possible? If I really abuse them, the master can't turn a blind eye, it's really difficult for the stepmother to do it! ”

Bai Haohong took out the sachet hanging next to Huang Wangmei's bed, handed it to Mrs. Huang, and asked, "Is this your sachet?" ”

Mrs. Huang looked at it carefully and replied, "It's not mine." ”

Bai Haohong asked again: "Did you go to the back window of your eldest daughter last night?" ”

"What am I going to do there?"

"You go down first, and don't go anywhere until you catch the murderer."

After Mrs. Huang stepped back, Huang Yuanwai was brought in, and Zhao Zhutou was very polite to him and asked him to tell him about the situation last night.

Huang Yuanwai said: "I stayed in my house last night and didn't go anywhere. My lady went out for a while, Wanglan came to see me, we chatted for a while, Wanglan left, and soon my lady came back. However, last night, I didn't know why, I slept very deeply. ”

"Isn't it the same as usual?"

"I usually can't sleep in bed for half a day, and I have to go to the thatched house twice at night, but last night, I was sleepy before I got into bed, and I slept until dawn and never went to the thatched house."

Zhao Zhutou heard this, and immediately asked his subordinates to take the tea set in Huang Yuan's outhouse to be tested.

"What is the relationship between the lady and the eldest daughter?" Zhao Zhutou asked again.

"My lady is strict in disciplining her children, but she will never kill anyone."

"Then who do you think will kill your eldest daughter?"

Huang Yuanwai thought for a while and replied, "I can't figure it out either." My eldest daughter is in peace, and who will kill her? After saying that, Huang Yuanwai cried sadly.

Zhao Zhutou comforted him and sent Huang Yuanwai to the door. After Huang Yuanwai left, Xiaolian, the personal maid of Huang Yuanwai and his wife, was brought in.
